A Combination of the Conjectures of Mordell-Lang and André-Oort

  • Chapter
Geometric Methods in Algebra and Number Theory

Part of the book series: Progress in Mathematics ((PM,volume 235))

Summary

We propose a conjecture combining the Mordell-Lang conjecture with an important special case of the André-Oort conjecture, and explain how existing results imply evidence for it.
